Answer: 1. Were supported by the Federalists
Explanation:
Laws passed in the midst of a possible fear of war with France. These laws were extremely controversial, restricting freedom of movement and the press. The laws were supported primarily by the federalists. At the end of the 18th century, the fedarilist party dominated politics in the country. The federalist government passed the law primarily because of the possibility of infiltration of foreign spies in the country.
